First Look : £1,000 Specialized Diverge E5 Sport

Plenty wrong here. If the police prosecuted just because they saw something illegal and not because they thought it would be funny to attack cyclists, why don't they prosecute all the offenses in the video? The blue car is parked facing the wrong way for starters.

If that cycling qualifies as riding without due care then there are a million motorcyclists on YouTube who need to start worrying

@Rendel Harris I can assure you I'm called "Jack", hence the username "Jackcycles". I thought it sounded cute because it reminds me of "popsicles", a childhood favourite of mine. Anyhow, I digress. I'm afraid I must dismiss your argument as both childish (due to personal attacks) and weak (due to a lack of logic). You've claimed that the cyclist can see into the car, as if it's a wholly transparent object and as if the cyclist isn't distracted by the fact he's passing a moving car unsafely. A person inside the car wearing black, a child, or someone of short stature (or indeed someone just looking for something on the floor) would be missed by the cyclist. And also, what if a pedestrian stepped out from directly behind the car? Again, a scenario carelessly ignored by the cyclist. And all this is incidental in any case because the cyclist is also riding carelessly due to a failure to ceed priority.

I'm sure they'd have mentioned it if it was the case so I'm guessing that they didn't *also* lobby for decent bi- directional cycle paths and grade-separated crossings? Can't understand why not... (No idea what it's like but 200m to the north there seems to be a "way" through Llandaff Fields which roughly parallels the worst of it. ) "Councillors hail welcome higher drink-drive limit as 'nobody kept to 2 pints anyway' "?

When certain businessess were part of a campaign that were against improving public transport routes, I blacklisted them. One of them was a local bicycle shop. When politicians and councillors did the same, they were taken off the list. Send a strong message to these people

Aren't there some local businessmen that for example a local mayor could bring in to buy the rights to the former cycle lane for a penny and cash in once it's been redeveloped at the public expense er... obviously nobody would do that, I meant "help out with improving the area"?

It's more disappointing that you lack the intelligence and/or perception to acknowledge that the cyclist can obviously see into the car (we can even see into it ourselves on the video) and know that there is nobody in it and so the question does not arise unless you're a vexatious previously-many-times-banned troll, but there we go.

Is it that this fits into the common perception (clearly shared by police and magistrates here) about cyclists "undertaking"? Even if the cyclist is within their own lane a motorist couldn't have got down there ergo it's an offence? (Is it *wise* to go through every gap? Probably not...) Anyway, it's the motor-centric viewpoint - if cyclists are on the road we think of them as being mini-cars. And "fairness" - they should follow all the same requirements. Even where laws simply don't apply to them or the "what they should do" doesn't make sense. I can only guess the police / magistrates were thinking "they're bang to rights, instant karma, they need to pay up, put up and shut up. Or get off the road / get a car".
